100% agree. Cop should be put in jail.

Polarizing discussion here on the subject. Just goes to show how many dicks will back this sort of ****.

Canadian man leaves family to be transgender six-year-old girl*Stefonknee Wolscht | Daily Mail Online

This is a bit on the bat shit side of the nuttersphere.

I'm all for people being trans, identifying as whatever gender you feel like etc., but there are certain lines that can't be blurred by the fee fee's.

The man just wants to be happy. If it makes him happy, who are we to criticize? He can't help that he's a six-year-old girl trapped in a grown man's body. A little compassion, please!

I do hope you're being sarcastic. Because thinking you're a 6 year old girl trapped inside a mans body borders on, or may very well be, insanity. Does the guy pay taxes? Does he go to nursery? Child support? Etc.

I'm just using the exact words of arguments I've heard to justify things that most people nowadays accept, like being gay or trans or getting divorced or whatever. You're a bigot if you don't accept everything and anything someone wants to do in the name of personal happiness.

And yes, of course I was being sarcastic.

We can be friends then.

If she knows she's an adult I really don't see a problem with it. There can be debate about her receiving financial aid from the government because she wants to be a kid and can't find a job, but if she's a fully functioning adult I don't care what gender she wants to be or if she roleplays as a child.

But does that mean that anybody who has sex with the little tyke is now a pedophile?

Only when you do it.

I can't believe society let that **** spread from tumblr. And some couple is letting a crazy man in his 50s play with their kids. Enough is ****ing enough people, who the **** cares what someone thinks they are?

This is the bed we've made.

Speaking of, is this girl going to have to be forced to make hers now? I know I never made mine without my mom making me.

Going to be the weirdest birds and bees talk ever.

Oberlin College college students offended by culturally appropriated food at dining halls - Washington Times

Back in my day, we just complained about how awful cafeteria food is on its own disgustingly undercooked merit without having to attach some kind of social agenda that supports segregation to it. Damn kids.

:laughing:

Do people seriously have nothing better to do than get outraged by things like this?

'Cultural appropriation' :o:

Fuck off.

Not to mention that General Tso's chicken originated in America, possibly through a Taiwanese restaurant.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Tso%27s_chicken

Quit with the appropriation, you privileged Taiwanese.

Let's hope it's some sort of satire or self parody in the long run.

Fried chicken is actually British as well so the black student should stop appropriating our culture tbh.

To be fair, you lot did imperialize Africa for a while, so they were more or less forced to assimilate to your honkiness or die of starvation.

Some douche dropped a Star Wars spoiler in the comments section. Lol.

^I'm glad I don't care about spoilers. My 8yr old daughter came home from Star Wars and said .... blah blah insert spoilers blah blah

Apple - you've outdone yourself again. Just when we thought you'd exhausted every possible means of screwing the buying public... you pull this.

Forbes reported today that the iPhone 7 will officially abandon the perfectly good global standard for a headphone jack in place of their proprietary lightning connector.

Now Apple can charge all headphone makers licensing fees for use of their connector. Beats are all now selling Lightning headphones, heavily promoted in Apple stores, as well as Audeze’s $799.95 EL-8 Titanium headphones.

Lightning is being positioned as the "high quality" option... ignoring the fact that the standard 50 cent audio that the rest of the planet uses delivers the SAME EXACT audio signal.

And BETTER STILL, Forbes notes, Apple customers will need to think twice about leaving the Mac OS/iOS ecosystem if it entails them investing in a new pair of premium headphones.

**** you, Apple. I'm putting coal in your stocking... with a Lightning port.

Glad I use no Apple products!

I use two iPods, and I prefer Mac when working on Adobe, but other than that I'll never buy a smartphone (Apple or not) or Apple products outside of those.

I use a Walkman (Japan has sweet ones for its domestic market), and when it comes to computers, I go Linux all the way. :)

I boycott Apple on principle. Steve Jobs was a ****.

Hear, hear!

The recent Walkman releases are indeed interesting bits of tech. I used a 30GB flash Creative Zen X-Fi with an additional 128GB of expandable SD storage for years until I discovered the miracle of a Linux media server and unlimited, unthrottled data.

For the last several years I've used my Android smartphone to access several TBs of my content. discographic and cinematic archives abound, on demand and free.

I've repeatedly considered investing in a Dragonfly or similar portable DAC and headphone amplifier, but honestly the cell is sufficient to power my Sennheisers when I'm in the wild, and at home I've got a proper hi-fi system so I haven't really seen the need.

Godd*mn right, he was.

Sorry for the double-post, but this news story is nightmarishly dystopian and really should be shared.

ACLU.org and antimedia.org have both published articles about China's new social media game.

The "game" measures citizens' obedience to the Party. Run by the largest social networking and e-commerce sites in the country in cooperation with the goverment, all users' online purchases and posts add to or subtract from their score.

And once the game becomes mandatory in 2020, their score is planned to have real-world consequences like access to travel papers, loans, slower internet speeds, and employment.

Worst of all, your score is dragged down if you remain friends with low-scoring individuals. The game self-perpetuates social ostracization and obedience to authority.

Extra Credits posted this video summarizing the nation's new credit system.

Isn't that what the world wants though? Like, China doing even more dumb **** causing themselves even more problems beyond their slow ass economic growth?

James Murphy Confirms That a New LCD Soundsystem Album is Coming | SPIN

:yikes:

Hitler's Mein Kampf just went on sale in Germany. Will it be a best seller?

Are you going to be able to control yourself, grindy?

At the Drive-In to release new music, embark on world tour in 2016 | Consequence of Sound

First Guns & Roses are reuniting, then LCD Soundsystem, now At The Drive-In? Barring Guns & Roses, I welcome new music from either band.

So indie dweebs finally know how metalheads have been feeling for almost two decades? Cause that's when the wave of reuniting thrash bands started, and we've become numb to band reunions in the ensuing years.

:rofl:

Metal ain't got shit on LCD Soundsystem.

How cute. Indie dweebs think their little genre is immune to the laws of diminishing returns.

Interesting. I'll have to keep an ear out for that.

Judging from Antemasque and Bosnian Rainbows it shouldn't be too terrible. Thank god the only reunion concert their having wasn't the one at that festival they're going too with those mallcore bands.

Despite them being my favorite band and all, I kinda have mixed feelings to the news.

Not so much unbelievable but interesting.
